SHVPES have revealed and explosive new video. Watch out!
Their latest single is the title track from their debut album, Pain. Joy. Ecstasy. Despair, which is out now through Search And Destroy Records. Follow the link to download a copy: https://SpinefarmRecords.lnk.to/VoMkwID
Talking about their new single lead singer Griffin Dickinson said: “As the title-track to our debut album, we wanted the video to tie everything we’ve been working on together and really bring the album artwork to life. From the 1920’s apothecary style aesthetic to us physically drinking from the bottles on the artwork I think we’ve managed to do just that. Throughout the video you see the band sat round a table, blindfolded, playing Russian roulette with bottles marked ‘Pain’, ‘Joy’, ‘Ecstasy’ and ‘Despair’. ‘Pain. Joy. Ecstasy. Despair’ represents the emotional circle of life, it’s a statement of acceptance that we live in complete chaos and no one knows what’s coming next.”
